Re: Slow fret board

I hear what you are saying...I find that the only way around it is to have a lighter tough, compared to my other guitars that mostly sport jumbo frets. :)

Re: Cool video footage from way back!

That's amazing...I've never seen this video before...was it a trade show or something?

I know it says Factory Tour, but it looks like a show/exhibition of some sort...cool to see Chet Atkins in it too 8)

Re: Rickenbacker 660!

I was surprised at how flamed this one was...it didn't look that figured in photos of the ebay auction.

Really pleasantly surprised! 8)

Re: Tell me about your first Rickenbacker...

I dreamt of Rickenbacker guitars for many years. I would see all these great bands play them on TV and think "one day I'll get one". I bought the Rickenbacker book and tortured myself by reading it front to back and drooling over the photos. My attention was focused on the 620 body style. ...

Rickenbacker 660!

Hi everyone, I finally realised my dream of owning one of these great guitars! This 660 was made in 2008. I am just blown away by the workmanship and of course, the sound of this great instrument!
